Season 1 Episode 23 1961 , Hosted by Boris Karloff , Fiendish Moloch and his huge creature Styx kill a chauffeur and kidnap his passengers, who are en route to a bachelor party. The two abductees (a bridegroom, who’s heir to an English country estate, and the estate overseer), are forced to slog through foggy moors to an ancient Gothic fortress. As dawn approaches, the diabolic pair push their captives to speed up, because the demonic creatures fear the coming of light.
Fans of spy flicks will recognize Richard Kiel, who portrayed the character known as Jaws in a couple of the James Bond entries. Genre fans have seen him in numerous movies and TV shows, including classics like The Wild Wild West, The Twilight Zone, and Kolchak: The Night Stalker.

I’ve seen every episode of One Step Beyond, The Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock Presents and basically every other similar show. Never even heard of Thriller until today and I’m happy I found it!
JUST Returned in my Time Machine from the year 2020. It's great to be back in the 60's. PT: Don't waste your time traveling to the 21st Century.
wrong episode for comment below
shatner—-and the professor from Gilligans island??
It's called atmosphere, ambiance and action! AAA!
Great ending they finally got what they deserved sometimes the story is great but they screw up the ending leaving you unsatisfied bravo
Viewed it = 28/02/2020
Good 'ol Aldred Hitchcock type ending.
Did the actor portraying the bridegroom also play a character named Rand Hobart in the classic horror film "Curse of the Demon" ?
Good one ?
That could only be Richard Kiel!
I must say, that I totally agree with everyone in this comment section!!! It is so refreshing to share the same love of ( real ) classic movies instead of the ? garbage that is plastered all over the movie ? screens ? indeed.
"in the middle of summer" and they're wearing heavy wool overcoats and hats ?
The score for this episode was fantastic. Henry Daniell & Thatcher were in Brando's Mutiny on the Bounty. Daniell and Karloff also starred in the Body Snatcher. Daniell also had a tiny role in another Thriller episode.
WHO doesn't "like" this old stuff? Go watch the "Avengers" or some new Hollywood crap.
Thank you for sharing these. The old thriller/horror movies and TV shows had a style they just can't replicate. There are some real gems in these old programs.
What a great episode and thank you for the video. I learn so much from reading your descriptions and also from the comments of the viewers.
Now this is how Old School HORROR was meant to be, Sll MONSTER;s.
did not like the pace of this one, good story, too much elongated drama.
Why are 1960's good films always ruined by deafening trumpets in the background.
Thank you for these downloads this is brilliant I can't stop watching them always loved Boris Karloff
A friend of mine is the nephew of Richard Kiel. Hes big too
Btw, if the big guy looks familiar, that's Richard Kiel who played Jaws in the James bond flicks: 'The Spy Who Loved Me' and 'Moonraker'‼️???
Of course I heard of Boris Karloff; however, I didn't know he had a series of his own. Good picture. Thanks for sharing‼️???
I honestly think that the Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock are very similar to this and this was before that so they kind of borrowed the idea
I didn’t know Richard Kiel was in “To Serve Man”. He was Jaws in James Bond too
With Richard Kiel!
Music was a bit monotonous though ,
Henry Daniell owned all the best scenes ,
At 7 :20 she’s controlling already ,
I once met Richard Kiel. He was in a wheelchair and was selling autographed 8×10 glossies of himself. 35$ a pop. It was at a Flea Market in San Francisco, 2013. I think he's died since then.
He was typecast in all of his roles. But who cares?! He was a great presence!
……………..I have ALWAYS liked movies that had Boris Karloff in them and Thank You 4 this…………..
